I believe that the placebo affcect def took a part in the mentality of the athletes. The placebo definitely made the athlete that did not wash his stuff to believe he was going to play just as good as the last game or even better, and the athlete who washed his chose truly believed that his luck was washed away so he did not believe in himself as much. I believe that the placebo affect is a good way to look at things because it causes people to believe more into something to give them a positive mind set.
